What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
