What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Poukawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
