The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Days Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
