Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Poukawa building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
