The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Vogeltown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
