Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Boulcott building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
