What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
