Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Eastbourne building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should 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 even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
