The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
