Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
