Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
