What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Wilton building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
