What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built 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, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
