The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may 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 by a certified Gracefield building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
