It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
