The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
