Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
