Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Wilton building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
