If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
