What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Wilton building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
