If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Avalon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household 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, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
