Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
