The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
