Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
