What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
