Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
