If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Epuni building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
