What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
