If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Avalon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
