Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
