What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
