If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
