Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
