If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
