Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Boulcott building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
