Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
