What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the 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 pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
