If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
