The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
