Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
