If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Poukawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
