If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
