The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Days Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re 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 the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
