Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re 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 house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster 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 appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
