What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Epuni building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
