A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
