It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
