Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Wilton building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures 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 problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
