What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
