Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Epuni building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
