What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
