Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Gracefield building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
