Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Poukawa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Poukawa

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
