If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Days Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look 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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
