What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
