The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
