If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
