Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Poukawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
