Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Wilton building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
