What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Boulcott building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
