Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Vogeltown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or 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 cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
