If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Eastbourne building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
