Why 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 specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
