What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
