What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Eskdale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
