What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
