What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
