Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
