If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
