Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
