If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
