The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
