Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
