It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
