What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often 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 poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
