The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Days Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
