The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, 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 specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Avalon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, 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

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
