What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Poukawa building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
