Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

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