What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
