Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
