The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
