What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
