Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
