What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
