You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
