If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Poukawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until 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.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
