If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
