If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Wilton building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity 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 search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
