If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
