Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Avalon building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.
