Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
