Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Eskdale building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
