Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
