The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
