What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a 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 are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
