A Thorough Building & Home Inspection in Boulcott

Peace of Mind

We will carry out an extensive inspection of your property as well as provide you with a fair as well as sincere detailed written report of the construction that includes photos of any troublesome areas to ensure that the home you are purchasing has the quality you expect.

A thorough inspection by the Boulcott building inspector usually is between one half, and 2 hours on site. However, we allow a maximum of two hours for our quality pre purchase inspections in Boulcott. This is followed by a few additional hours for the preparation of the report.

Our reports are comprehensive but easy to comprehend in an effort to inform you as clearly as imaginable about your possible new home. You will be in a better negotiating position when you are completely well-informed to make informed choices about property.

Don’t overpay for the house which is likely to give you headaches with future issues. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems arise, and we can give you expert tips on how to proceed.

Based on what a house inspection finds it is possible to utilise a report to aid in negotiations with the seller over the cost or repairs. Even if the report uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a reference for future maintenance.

What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage 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 home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
