The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
