Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
