If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Eastbourne building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
