Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
