Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
