Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

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

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
