The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Waterloo building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws 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 like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
