Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Eskdale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
