Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or 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 be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
