What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
