The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a 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 check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
