If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Epuni building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
