The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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 search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
