Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

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