An Expert Building & Home Inspection in Boulcott

Peace of Mind

We will carry out an exhaustive inspection of your property in order to offer you with a fair and honest comprehensive written report of the construction that includes photos of any areas that are in need of attention to give you assurance that the home you are purchasing can be described as being of the quality you expect.

A thorough inspection by the Boulcott building inspector usually takes between one and a half hours and 2 hours on site. However, we allow a maximum of two hours to conduct our quality pre-purchase inspections in Boulcott. Then, we spend a few additional hours to prepare the report.

Our reports are detailed yet understandable to inform you as best as possible about your possible new home. You put yourself in a better negotiating position by being completely informed to make informed property decisions.

Don’t pay too much for the house which is likely to give you headaches with potential issues in the future. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems occur, and can offer specialist guidance on how to move forward.

Based on what an house investigation finds depending on the findings, you might be able to utilise a report to help you negotiate with the seller over the cost or even repairs. Even if a report discovers minor flaws, you can still use it as a road map for future maintenance.

The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Boulcott building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
