Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
