Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
