What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Eskdale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
