Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

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

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Eskdale building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
