Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Poukawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
