If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Eastbourne building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
