Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Newlands building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
