If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
