What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
