Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Wilton building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
