What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Eastbourne building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
