What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
