The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could 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 an qualified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
