Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
