What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
