Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
