Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking 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 with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: 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 A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
