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

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
