Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred 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 expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
