If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to 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 cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in 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 to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
