If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
