What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
