What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Poukawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
