The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
