If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Avalon building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
