What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself 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 home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Poukawa building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
