If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
