If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Epuni building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
