If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Whitby building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
