The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
