Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
