What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
