Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
