What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Avalon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
