The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

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