If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Wilton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
