Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Days Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
