What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
