The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Days Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
