The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Avalon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
