Based on what an home investigation finds, you may be able to utilise a report to help you negotiate with the seller over the cost or repairs. Even if a report only discovers minor flaws, you can still use it as a roadmap to plan future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Avalon building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in 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 best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
