If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
