Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Poukawa building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
