If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Wilton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
