Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
