Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
