What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
