The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
