What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
