Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
