The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
