Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
