The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
