Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from 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

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
