It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
