The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Eskdale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
