The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Vogeltown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
