If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
