The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could 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 resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Vogeltown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
