Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Epuni building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.

• A thorough evaluation of the structural integrity and weather-tightness of all visible components.
• A study on the solutions to the property (given reasonable access).
• A cursory survey of out-buildings as well as the immediate grounds and site drainage.
• Non-invasive moisture testing for areas with high risk and potential dangers like door and window penetrations as well as rooms that are wet (bathrooms, laundry etc) is an integral part of the service provided.
