If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
