Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Avalon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
