It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built 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, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
