What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Poukawa building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
