Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
