Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Wilton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
