If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
