Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Epuni building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred 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 costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
