What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Newlands

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
