Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
