Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Wilton building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
