Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your 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 when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
