Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
