Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house 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.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
