If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
