What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects 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 require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
