Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
