Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
