The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Eastbourne building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
