We will carry out an extensive investigation of your property in order to provide you with a fair and sincere detailed written report on the building and photos of any problem areas to give you assurance that the home you are buying will be of the standard you expect.

The thorough inspection performed by a Epuni building inspector usually will take between one and a half and two hours at the site. However, we allow a maximum of two hours to conduct our standard pre-purchase inspections within Epuni. In addition, we will spend additional hours in the preparation of the report.

Our reports are detailed, yet easy to understand in an effort to provide you with as much information as imaginable about your potential new property. You are in a better negotiating position when you are completely aware of your options to make educated real estate decisions.

According to what a house inspection reveals, you may be able to utilise a report to aid in negotiations with the seller over the cost or even repairs. Even if a report only detects minor issues, you can still use it as a guideline to plan future maintenance.

Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
