If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
