Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
