Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
