The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
