The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
