What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
