Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by 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

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
