The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
