What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
