If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
