Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Wilton building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
