Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
