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 constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
