What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
