What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Avalon building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
