The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, 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 qualified Eskdale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
