What Are The Reasons 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 well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
