Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Waterloo

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
