Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
