Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Gracefield building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
