A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
