What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

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

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Poukawa building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to 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: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
