The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Avalon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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 building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
