Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

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

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Wilton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
