Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Wilton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
