Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
