The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
