Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Days Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is 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 your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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 siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
