Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty 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 issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
