What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Epuni building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
