What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

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 you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
