Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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 or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
