What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
