Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
