If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Eastbourne building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until 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 until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
