If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
