Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
