Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
