Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
