The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
