Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
