Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
