An Expert Building & Home Inspection in Newtown

We will conduct an in-depth inspection of the property and offer you with an accurate as well as sincere detailed written report on the building that includes photos of any troublesome areas to give you assurance that the home you purchase can be described as being of the standard you expect.

A thorough inspection by a Newtown building inspector usually takes between one and a half, and two hours on the site. However, we allow a maximum of two hours to conduct our standard pre-purchase inspections inside Newtown. Followed by a number of additional hours to prepare the report.

Our reports are comprehensive yet understandable in an effort to inform you as accurately as imaginable regarding your prospective new property. You are in a stronger position for negotiation in the event that you are completely well-informed to make informed choices about property.

Do not pay too much for a home that’s likely create headaches due to future problems. We can pinpoint the areas where most issues occur and give you expert guidance on how to proceed.

Based on what the results of a home inspection uncovers depending on the findings, you might be able to utilise a report to aid in negotiations with the seller over the cost or repair. Even if the report uncovers minor problems, you can still use it as a reference to plan future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
