The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Days Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
