Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
