Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Eastbourne building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
