If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house 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, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
