It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
