What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
