The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built 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 pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
