Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Newlands building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
