If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
