What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Wilton building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
