What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
