The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
