The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
