What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Newlands building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
