The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
