What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
