Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
