Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
