Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Whitby

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re 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 might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
