The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Wilton building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
