Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
