What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
