It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

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

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
