What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Poukawa building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
