What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
