The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
