The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Poukawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
