What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
