Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
