The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
