Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Eskdale building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
