What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
