Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
