If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
