The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming 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 cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
