What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from 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 will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
