Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
