The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
