If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
