Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Poukawa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
