Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically 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 installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
