Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Wilton building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
