Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Vogeltown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
