Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
