What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Wilton building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
