What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Poukawa building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
