Depending on what the results of a house inspection uncovers depending on the findings, you might be able to utilise a report to aid in negotiations with the seller over the cost or to make repairs. Even if a report only uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a road map for any future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Avalon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
