What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
