Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home 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, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
