Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
