Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
