The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
