Our thorough inspection by a Wilton building inspector usually is between one half hours and two hours on site. We allow maximum of two hours for our standard pre-purchase inspections in Wilton. This is followed by a few additional hours preparing the report.

Our reports are precise and yet simple to comprehend to provide you with as much information as imaginable regarding your prospective new property. You put yourself in a stronger position for negotiation in the event that you are fully in the know to make well-informed property decisions.

Don’t overpay for an home that’s likely create headaches due to potential issues in the future. We know exactly where common problems happen, and will provide specialist guidance on how to proceed.

According to what an home inspection uncovers the home inspector may allow you to utilise a report to help you negotiate with the seller over the cost or even repairs. Even if a report only uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a road map to plan future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Wilton building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
