What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
