The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
