If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Avalon building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
