It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Days Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
