The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Eastbourne building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
