Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Vogeltown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
