What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Eastbourne building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, 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.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
