The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Wilton building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
