What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Avalon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any 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 or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
