Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
