What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
