Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Eastbourne building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
