You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
