The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Wilton building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
