The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
