Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
