If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Avalon building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
