The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Days Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
