Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Avalon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
