Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
