If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
