The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
