It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
