The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Days Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
