If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waterloo building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.
