What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Poukawa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
