Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
