What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

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

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
