Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
