Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
