Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
