If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
