Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
