Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
