Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Poukawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
