Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
