The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
