Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Epuni building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
