The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Wilton building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
