What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
