Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
