What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
