What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
