The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Wilton building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
