The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

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