The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
