Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Avalon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
