The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular 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 building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
