What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
