The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
