If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
