If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
