Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Eskdale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
