The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
