Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Newlands building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
