What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waterloo building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
