Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Avalon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
