Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
