What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems 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 where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
