Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Wilton building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
