The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
