Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Avalon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
