What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
