What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
