What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
