Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
