Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
