If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
