What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from 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 a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
