Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
