If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
