Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household 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 pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
