The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
