What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Days Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
