Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
