Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Eastbourne building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
