What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Avalon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
