What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
