If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
