Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
