What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
