Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
