The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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 is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
