What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
