The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
