Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
