If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
