Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
