What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
