What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re 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: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
