Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Avalon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
