What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Wilton building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
