What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Epuni building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
