The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
