What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Whitby building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
