A thorough inspection by an Days Bay building inspector usually takes between one and a half hours and 2 hours on site. We allow maximum of two hours for our standard pre-purchase inspections in Days Bay. Followed by a number of additional hours preparing the report.

Our reports are thorough, yet easy to understand to inform you as accurately as imaginable regarding your prospective new home. You are in a better position to negotiate when you are fully well-informed to make informed real estate decisions.

Don’t pay too much for an home that’s going to give you headaches with the possibility of future problems. We know exactly where common problems arise, and we can give you specialist advice on how you can move forward.

Based on what the completed jobs of a home inspection finds, you may be able to utilise a report to assist you in negotiating with the seller about price or repair. Even if a report only uncovers minor problems, you can still use it as a reference for future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Days Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
