Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Eastbourne building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
