Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
