What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Wilton building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
