Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
