If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
