What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Days Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
