Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report 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. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
