Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Avalon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with 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 the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
