Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
