The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
