Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Wilton building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
