Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
