The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
