The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
