Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Avalon building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
