Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
