Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Eastbourne building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
