Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
