If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
