Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re 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 house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
