Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Avalon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
