Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Whitby

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
