If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
