Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
