What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an 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 ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
