Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
