If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
