Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
