Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
