If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Avalon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could 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 finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
