If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
