Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
