What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
