Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
