Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
