What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might 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 certified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
