If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
