Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
