Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Poukawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
