What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
