Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
