If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Poukawa building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance 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 caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
