This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Whitby

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
