Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications 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 with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
