What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Newlands building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
