The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
