Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
