Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Eastbourne building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
