Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
