The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
