Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home 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 piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
