Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
