The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
