Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
