Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
