Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Boulcott building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
