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

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
