What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
