Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Days Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of 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.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
