If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the 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 homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
