Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
