What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Boulcott building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
