Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
