Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
