What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Eastbourne building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
