If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
