Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
