Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
