Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
