What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
