What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Eskdale building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure 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, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
