A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
