The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
