Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Waterloo building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
