Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Epuni building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
