If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Wilton building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
