The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
