The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
