If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
