Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
