Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Avalon building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
