What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Eastbourne building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
