If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
