Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
