If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
