The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
