If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Eskdale building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
