What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Wilton building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check 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, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

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