The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

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 thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
