Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
