Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
