The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to 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 cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
