What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Eastbourne building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
