If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
