What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Wilton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
