Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Epuni building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
