Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Poukawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
