Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
