A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
