Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered 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 professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Boulcott building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a 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 are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
