Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
