If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
