The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
