Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through 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 about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
