Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Avalon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
