If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
