The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check 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 piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
