The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Avalon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
