The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
