Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Eastbourne building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
