The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
