Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Wilton building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or 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 your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
