What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
