Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, 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 good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Whitby building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.

Inspections of property also known as home inspections are a must these days when buying the house. With the rising cost of houses and building maintenance costs it's important to know exactly what you're buying.
