Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
