The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Days Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
