Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Boulcott building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
