The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
