What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
