Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
