The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
