What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
