What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
