Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: 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: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
