Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Days Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
