The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Boulcott building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
