You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
