The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
